Price Data & Market Depth
The trading platform uses three basic prices of a financial instrument: Bid - the highest price at which one is prepared to buy a financial instrument (bid price) and at the same time the best price at which one can sell a financial instrument. Ask - the lowest price at which one is prepared to sell a financial instrument (ask price) and at the same time the best price at which one can buy a financial instrument. Last - the price of the last executed trade of the respective financial instrument.
There is only one price source on the stock exchange - the stock exchange itself. The stock market brings together buyers and sellers and records all executed accounts. The orders of all market participants form a uniform market depth with genuine trading orders of market participants available on the trading platform. Based on the best orders, bid and ask prices are formed in market depth (displayed in the market overview). In addition, the stock exchange provides prices and volumes of recent trades (load and volume). Last prices are used to draw price charts and to display Time & Sales.
